After taking this puppy for a test drive, however, I found myself wondering why this wasn’t something that could be built into the native iOS calendar.

I did have a bit of trouble figuring out how to use FileCalendar effectively, mainly because there isn’t a tutorial to show you how to use the app correctly.

In order to add an attachment to an event, you have to use the iOS context menu and open an attachment or file in FileCalendar. From there, you can select which event to attach the file to or you can create a new event.

The only major drawback to the visual aspect of FileCalendar is that it looks almost too similar to the native calendar app. Personally I’d like to see a bit of variation in the design, mainly because it looks pretty plain.

I also found that FileCalendar lacks a way to see dates with files attached in the year overview screen; you have to scroll through all of your events listed by day in order to see those with files attached.

It’s not a huge deal for those with a light schedule, but it could be very troublesome and irritating for anyone with a full calendar.

Features:

FileCalendar iPhone App

FileCalendar is a pretty powerful calendar app in itself, mainly because it features the ability to sync everything with your existing calendar.

You don’t have to worry about rebuilding your schedule from the ground up in order to take advantage of features.

As I mentioned above, FileCalendar supports pretty much every file type available. From images to spreadsheets and PDF files, most users should be able to easily add files to events.

There’s even a built-in file manager that allows you to find all attached files in one place.

Value:

FileCalendar is available to download from the App Store for $1.99 and is universally compatible with iPhone and iPad.

When it comes to value, I think FileCalendar is worth what you as the user will get out of it.

I do wish the developers offered a free version (or a limited trial) so users could make sure the app was right for them without taking the plunge and buying it outright.

Overall, FileCalendar is definitely useful as an app for those who find themselves swimming in email attachments and files that are associated with particular dates and events.

It’ll definitely help you stay organized once you use it a bit and figure out how the app works.

FileCalendar – requires iOS 8.2 or later and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. A small expedite fee was paid by the developer to speed up the publication of this review.

Just the app im looking for. But why does every hyperlink in your article take me to a msg in the iPhone App Store saying this is “not available in the US.”
Do you know of another app that would allow me to easily attach a file or image to a calendar event?!
